I struggled with performance anxiety and it crippled me during exams . While I was able to perform well in practice tests, I had panic attacks during exams which affected my results. Working with Neetu helped me shift my perspective on exam performance,helped me deal with my exam anxiety and we addresses issues related to my studies and time management. I was always crippled by thinking of future results and what if I didn't get required results and so on .She helped me navigate my unhelpful thoughts and move towards my values, what was important to me , device action steps to move towards my goals. I am glad I work with her during my most crucial school time, my final school year and now I look forward to my new upcoming university life with more confidence .
I had no idea abt counseling but I was in a bad place ,feeling stuck .. and I was glad Neetu could help ,connect with me and make me understand.
I felt I have gained an invaluable skill set .. that being said I don’t think I am completely sorted out .. but I have been put on a path and given some tools to help me swim in the right direction
This is what NEETU have taught and helped me ......
Neetu helped me with my move to new school ,my social anxiety , stress of exams and understanding of the UK admissions process. I notice a reduction in my anxiety after learning and practicing Neetu's strategies. Her method of reframing my thoughts,helped me during my exams. Sessions shifted my focus from overcoming social anxiety to studying more efficiently. My social anxiety had decreased and we explored my interests and strengths. Best exercise I learned from her helped me in observational skills and intercepting information. Together we worked on my communication skills and social confidence. I was able to adjust to a new learning environment more positively, and she helped me harness my growing interest in reading and a shift towards a more positive outlook.
I was searching for help for my high schooler, who moved into new school and was reluctant to go. She was having anxiety and panic attacks due to her past experiences in her old school. After reading counseling reviews ,I connected with NEETU . Discovery session with her , assured me of going ahead and her talk with my d/o helped her calm herself before school. They worked on her adjustment to a new school environment, noting initial reluctance but with sessions ,I could see her improved demeanor and growing interest in reading. Neetu worked with her studying habits and test anxiety . I am happy to see my child’s improved emotional state and openness after sessions, with plans to continue working on her studying habits.
I and my d/o have been to other therapists as well but my husband never approved because he felt that it takes long time and makes us emotionally dependent. He believed that no need of all these things and we can manage by ourselves . I had begun sessions with the other therapist also but I never felt I have been heard and was given information and theory. When I want a session I will have definitely some problems and So I don't want just theory. Like for theory, I can read from something but it is something like somebody's ready to listen to you. Neetu gave a SAFE ,NON-JUDGEMENTAL,NON-ADVICE,NON-THEORATICAL space for HEARING ME OUT. Yeah. So that is I felt special about her. when she say something, she give metaphors, we do role plays , she give action steps to consider , So I can relate to it more. I feel like it's working for me. First thing I felt I could connect with my daughter in the sense like I try to understand that it's normal to have comfortable or uncomfortable emotions. I learned how to navigate them rather being triggered.
I initially had reservations about working with Neetu due to concerns about how my loved ones would perceive counseling services especially regarding the potential for perceived weakness or unnecessary dependency. However, after beginning the sessions, I felt heard and valued, which made me feel positive about the experience. My main concern was how my partner would react to the idea and the potential implications on their relationship. I had a newfound understanding of emotions and improved connection with my daughter. we worked on the challenges of making new friends and the fear associated with past experiences. I had great experience of learning to manage emotions and relationships, and the importance of mentorship and patience in understanding one's own thoughts and feelings. Now I believe that effective communication and the ability to connect with others and oneself are crucial to maintaining relationships.
Met Neetu for my daughter as we were having lots of conflicts and she had anger issues . The way Neetu asks questions , helped my gain clarity of situation, under and my child better and both of us could reach a common ground. I was always worried abt her food intake and that she was missing on healthy food habits. Neetu helped me understand how good intake could be rearranged as per my child’s likings and still have the nutritional value .Her questions made me reflect on what was important to me as a parent and what fears of mine were being projected on my child whenever I was triggered . One thing she made me realize was that not everyone in family will respond in similar way and we can accept their ways before we communicate. I learned to create consistent boundaries with my child as her constant reminders in between sessions kept me on track of my parenting a journey and my triggers. I am glad I worked with Neetu to understand my child better and navigate situations in more clam way.
My mom said we have to meet some one who will help me with my anger issues and I thought of meeting Neetu I felt she listened to my frustrations rather then calling them anger issues ,she was willing to understand and I found her very flexible when she was suggesting me ways to mamage my time and diet . She helped to get on similar page as my mom especially when it came to eating food as my mom wants me to eat few things and I didn’t . She gave good options which worked for me as well as my mom .I looked forward to my weekly sessions with her and any conflicts with my mom , I shared with her , she talked with my mom and me together to not just sort out the conflict but helped me in understanding as what all could I say or do when I have any conflicting thoughts. she helped me with my anger issues by helping me reframe my reactions to anger causing situations and it worked for me . Happy to know that reframing, just changing words, can work so well.
It was easy to open up to you but along the way your objective view of looking at things without letting emotion clouding one's thought helped me immensely as I could accept things better and apply the objectivity to my problems. You helped me feel connected to my writer's side.Really grateful for your patience and belief that I had it in me to achieve something helped me come out my comfort zone. Yes Life is tough ...even now struggling with Son’s deteriorating health ,for past one month he is in constant pain not able to eat ,extremely difficult to see his suffering but your grounding techniques help me to come to terms with how much I can or cannot do . This too shall pass ..and I can find ways to deal with this though being in touch with my creative side.So many many hanks once again. Blessed to have you in my life Neetu as a guide and a wonderful human being 🤗🤗😘😘
My perception before going to Neetu was that as a parent I am always right and my child needs counselling. Once I had my sessions with Neetu I realized it was not my child but I who needed help. I was reluctant at seeking help because I assumed I was always right, which I now realise is not true. There's no right or wrong, Neetu helps to open up your mind and really give difficult situations a thought. Neetu has been instrumental in changing my perception of parenting in a brilliant way. Being a parent, I wanted everything done my way( as i knew and they are just kids ) not realizing that the child you are dealing with is a human too. Neetu's gentle nudge helped me realize it was not all about me. Hands down the best parenting advise I got from her was give your child the freedom to think and dream. Stuck in my ways, I was not letting my child think for herself. Through her sessions, Neetu reversed some very difficult questions She asked her back to me! That was unexpected yet so very thought provoking. The realization that you can be your child's parent and their mentor was a huge moment for me.
"Neetu Shah is a very skilled and an amazing Counselor and Life coach. Her sessions are quite affordable as well. I have been taking sessions with her and it has helped me tremendously in overcoming my fears, organizing my thoughts and streamlining my actions and habits as a parent and most importantly as a human being. She is turning my journey; of self exploration, parenting and of putting life learned lessons to work; into a creative form of art which is thoroughly refreshing and empowering.". -- Khadija.ab
I was in awe of Neetu's ability to make me feel so comfortable to share the most intimate details of my life with her and having her take it one step at a time when dealing with my emotions. I admire her ability to guide you to think for yourself and to get you to answer your concerns by helping you see your life from a deeper level of consciousness. She has helped me shape my life story in a way that has given me tremendous amounts of hope for who I am today and what I want to be in the future. With all my gratitude, Zahra Bagat
